The daring Podracer pilot can amass an impressive amount of credits throughout his career, but there are those like second-rate racer Aldar Beedo that don't want to rely only on winnings to make ends meet. In fact, Beedo never really considered himself a racer to begin with. He was first and foremost a hired killer.
The long-snooted Glymphid from Ploo II had less interest in winning the Boonta Eve Classic than he did in collecting a sizable bounty on Sebulba's head. The dashing Wan Sandage hired Beedo to kill the Dug, but Beedo failed. Ironically enough, Beedo was one of the few to finish the challenge of the Boonta. He came in third, clocking a time of 15:52:108, ten seconds behind Anakin Skywalker. His client, Sandage, never crossed that finish line.

To be perfectly honest, this is the first time I've ever heard of the character. Now I'll have to scavenge the far expanses of the EU to find info on this peculiar and interesting character... (dives into Wookieepedia) _________________

I've heard of him, but knew absolutely nothing about him. Guess you really like him, though, eh? I am simply assuming, because of your name. _________________

I remember his face from somewhere but never knew much about him.

I find his story to be particularly interesting, however obscure it may be. It's a bit of a backstory to The Phantom Menace.
